🚀 Scared of Flying? Spiders? Public Speaking? You’re Not Alone! 🚀

I’ve been thinking a lot about phobias lately. I’ve had several people reach out, desperate to book a holiday abroad but held back by a fear of flying. Some book the trip anyway—only to panic as the departure date looms! It’s not just about missing out on travel; phobias can lead to tension at home when loved ones don’t share or fully understand the fear.

I hear phrases like:

🛑 “I know it’s silly...”

🛑 “I feel really stupid...”

🛑 “I’m so embarrassed...”

But here’s the truth: phobias aren’t silly, and you’re certainly not stupid for having one. They develop for real reasons, and understanding those reasons is the first step to overcoming them.

I recently caught an episode of The Fear Clinic on Channel 4 (or rather, I peered at it from behind the sofa!). It focused on exposure therapy—where people are thrown headfirst into their fears. While this can work, let’s be honest… it’s not exactly fun!

The good news? You don’t have to relive your fear to beat it.

With Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we take a different approach. You won’t be forced to confront your phobia head-on. Instead, we work gently and effectively to help your brain reframe the fear, often in just four sessions. Whether it's flying, frogs, sharks, snakes, or something else entirely—if your phobia is holding you back, let’s have a chat.

Because life’s too short to be stuck on the ground when you dream of soaring. ✈️
